        I have fewer problems with most on HTML e-mails since I use a
mail-reader that treats the text and the HTML as separate beasts. I also
have fewer problems with generally low-content e-mails than some, but I
can still very much see the force of an argument that says that you should
trim off as much of the original mail as you can since people who get the
digest will otherwise be getting mails many times over and not have that
delete-key option. Please consider poor Richard now he's gone that way
:-) Yours,
           Jon Jarrett
